Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Bath repair in Colbost, done in place
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We’re often asked to fix holes from dropped items and deep scratches in acrylic, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

When to call us in Colbost
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Colbost
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Colbost. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
